Re: Storage size issue

Reserved block count: 3125725 I guess this explains it? At 4096 bytes (4k per block) that's 12.8E9 bytes, so close enough ... Also, 5% of your 237G is ... 11.6G -- and co-incidentally 5% is the default reserved block count. You definitely could recover most of that by setting reserved blocks to zer...

Re: ZoneMinder 1.36 Email notification problems

Can you test with a provider other than gmail? Gmail have some very funny ideas about how email works, and have decided that they don't feel the need to create bounce emails when they don't like something you've done. They just eat the email without trace, without explanation, and without apology. I...

Re: zmtrigger.pl when using telnet from a file fails

ENOTTY is correct. It's not a TTY. You are redirecting input from a file. So it's not a TTY. Sure, but I don't know why it's sending an lseek only when I do not have a tty. That is, when I use telnet directly I don't see any lseek calls. This is based on an example zoneminder script. I'm really not...

Re: ZM and Google Nest doorbell camera

Thanks. That makes this unusable for me, I don't want to have to depend on an external website. Time to get a "No Cloud Garbage!" T-shirt :D Remember, the whole point of most of these cloud cameras is that the manufacturers get to hold you to ransom, pay subscriptions, tie you into their ...

Re: ZM and Google Nest doorbell camera

Can you be a bit more specific? I have a nest camera, have gotten the rtsp-server installed and working, but not sure how to run ffmpeg, is it running as a daemon? Also, I don't understand what this is doing: -i https://stream-eu1-delta.dropcam.com/ne ... ZZZZZZZZZ Thanks in advance It looks like a...

Re: zmtrigger.pl when using telnet from a file fails

Ummm, not to state the obvious that I should have mentioned in the first place :D

ENOTTY is correct. It's not a TTY. You are redirecting input from a file. So it's not a TTY.

I don't suppose that is actually really an error, as such.

Re: Import of monitors fails

Maybe that's why it's a swap file now? Probably. There used to be an issue (chicken and egg, horse and cart) with using a swap *file* that lives in an encrypted file system, which meant you couldn't access the swap *file* early enough in the boot to restore from it. And by the time you could access...

Re: Import of monitors fails

some of the config that ubuntu does depending on how much RAM is installed Ubuntu is so smart. It auto configures stuff based on the amount of RAM at install. It then doesn't seem to notice that you've added more RAM and revisit that ... not so smart, is it? :D I got caught on this when it auto-siz...

Re: zmtrigger.pl when using telnet from a file fails

Try echo not cat. There is an example here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ZMTrigger The "cat" is just to dump the contents of the file for exposition of the contents, not as part of the failing command! :) Sometimes things like this don't work because of timing problems, and you have to sta...

Re: shm issue

No. Most firewalls only block unrequested traffic. That depends on the firewall "policy" -- the usual/simplest is to block ALL incoming connections (unless allowed) and allow ALL outgoing connections (unless blocked). This mostly keeps you safe from external bad actors while allowing your...
